CFS Bancorp, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2009 Net Income and Operating Results

MUNSTER, IN--(Marketwire - July 27, 2009) - CFS Bancorp, Inc. CITZ (the Company), the parent of Citizens Financial Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $670,000 for the second quarter of 2009 with diluted earnings per share of $0.06. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company reported a net loss of $2.3 million, or $(0.22) per share.

The Company's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 improved to $2.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $516,000, or $(0.05) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

The Company's highlights for the second quarter of 2009 included:

-- tangible common equity improved to $115.5 million, or 10.55% of tangible assets at June 30, 2009 from $110.8 million or 9.96% at March 31, 2009; -- risk-based capital of 13.21% remains above the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) guidelines of 10.0% to be considered "well- capitalized;" -- net interest margin increased to 3.69% for the second quarter of 2009 from 3.61% for the first quarter of 2009 and 3.26% for the second quarter of 2008; and -- core deposits increased $15.6 million or 3.81%.

Chairman's Comments

"While positive, reported earnings were impacted by increased costs attributable to higher FDIC insurance premiums which included a special FDIC assessment on all banks, incentive compensation accruals, and credit quality related costs. Earnings benefited during the quarter from modestly higher margins, but our growth and diversification efforts have not yet resulted in sufficient earning asset growth to overcome the higher cost structure associated with executing our strategy," said Thomas F. Prisby, Chairman & CEO. "To be clear, while some might be satisfied in the current environment with achieving profitability, we do not view the reported level of earnings as adequate."

"In the current economic environment, it is challenging to find sufficient high quality credit opportunities to drive strong net loan growth, and we will not forsake quality to achieve growth. As a result, reported financial results do not yet fully reflect the progress that we have made in implementing our growth and diversification plan. As an example of the progress made during the quarter, we benefited from strong core-deposit growth as a result of both an increase in the number of business customer accounts as well as expanding the number of business owner/operator customers with whom we maintain personal deposit relationships. Notwithstanding the challenging economic environment in our core market areas, our strategic efforts to improve asset quality resulted in a modest increase in our non-performing assets," added Prisby.

"We continue to benefit from a solid capital base and ample liquidity," Prisby noted. "Despite the challenges posed by the national, regional and local economies, we remain focused on retaining capital strength, identifying and mitigating problem credits and investing in our franchise while continuing to execute our stated strategy."

Progress on Strategic Growth and Diversification Plan

The Company's Strategic Growth and Diversification Plan is built around four core objectives: decreasing non-performing loans; ensuring costs are appropriate given the Company's targeted future asset base; growing while diversifying by targeting small and mid-sized business owners for relationship-based banking opportunities; and expanding and deepening the Company's relationships with its customers by meeting a higher percentage of the customers' financial service needs.

While progress was made towards all core objectives, management is not satisfied with the rate of progress towards certain objectives. Although the ability to limit increases in non-performing assets during a period of significant economic duress is encouraging, management remains committed to the goal of aligning non-performing asset ratios with peer levels. In addition, operating costs remain relatively high, and it is increasingly clear that the Company's ability to achieve targeted earning asset levels will be hampered by current economic and regulatory conditions. As a result, management continues to focus on opportunistically cutting costs.

The Company's success in attracting new business banking clients, although not yet reflected in higher earning asset levels, played a significant role in its ability to grow deposits during 2009. Utilizing cross functional teams of business and retail calling officers, the Bank launched a dedicated effort to sell personal deposit and loan accounts to the owner/operators of its business clients, which resulted not only in strong deposit growth, but also in significant increases in the depth of the Company's relationships with this important customer segment. These achievements lead management to believe the Company is better positioned to achieve quality, relationship-based loan growth as the economy recovers.

Net Interest Income

The net interest margin increased eight basis points to 3.69% for the second quarter of 2009 from 3.61% for the first quarter of 2009 and increased 43 basis points from 3.26% for the second quarter of 2008. Net interest income increased to $9.3 million compared to $9.2 million for the first quarter of 2009 and $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2008. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2009 was positively affected by lower interest rates on interest-bearing deposits and borrowed money due to lower market rates coupled with a decrease in the amortization of the premium on the early extinguishment of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) debt.

Interest income decreased 2.0% to $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $13.2 million for the first quarter of 2009 and 13.8% from $15.0 million for the second quarter of 2008. Interest income was negatively affected during the second quarter of 2009 due to an increase in non-performing assets. The decrease from the second quarter of 2008 was due to lower market rates of interest during the second quarter of 2009 coupled with higher non-performing assets during the period.

Interest expense decreased 10.5% to $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2009 from $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2009 and 42.7% from $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2008. Interest expense on deposits was positively affected by disciplined pricing on deposits, including certificates of deposit, as current market interest rates remain lower than during 2008. As a result, the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 87 basis points to 1.41%. In addition, the amortization of the premium on the early extinguishment of FHLB debt decreased $388,000 from the second quarter of 2008.

The cost of borrowed money was 2.72% for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 2.33% for the first quarter of 2009 and 4.88% for the second quarter of 2008. The increase in the cost of borrowed money from the first quarter of 2009 was a result of higher rates on FHLB borrowed money during the second quarter of 2009. The decrease from the second quarter of 2008 was a result of lower rates on FHLB borrowed money combined with decreased premium amortization which is included in total interest expense on borrowed money. The premium amortization reduced the net interest margin by three basis points for both the first and second quarters of 2009 and 17 basis points for the second quarter of 2008. The remaining premium amortization totaling $42,000 will be fully recognized as of December 31, 2009. Interest expense on borrowed money is detailed in the table below for the periods indicated.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

Excluding available-for-sale security gains and losses, non-interest income decreased $106,000 or 4.8% from the first quarter of 2009 primarily as a result of the first quarter of 2009 increase in viatical income. Service charges and card based fee income increased $121,000 or 7.2% resulting from increased volumes.

Non-interest income increased 9.0% to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2009 from $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2008. Non-interest income excluding available-for-sale security gains and losses decreased $407,000, or 16.1%, from the second quarter of 2008 resulting from lower income on the Company's bank-owned life insurance policy due to lower interest crediting rates and reduced service charges and other fees due to lower activity when compared to the second quarter of 2008.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2009 increased 5.5% to $9.9 million compared to $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to FDIC insurance premiums. The Company's overall FDIC insurance premiums increased $659,000 from the first quarter of 2009. Of this increase, $495,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, net of tax, relates to the special assessment imposed on all insured depository institutions on June 30, 2009 with the remainder attributed to changes in assessment rates industry-wide. The FDIC has advised the banking industry that it may levy another special assessment during the second half of 2009. Partially offsetting these increases, the Company's net occupancy expense decreased $147,000 resulting from lower utility costs and snow removal expenses.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2009 increased $2.3 million, or 29.4%, from $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2008. FDIC insurance premiums increased $923,000 during the second quarter of 2009 from the 2008 period as a result of increased regular assessments, the aforementioned special assessment and the 2008 utilization of FDIC insurance premium credits. Compensation and employee benefits increased primarily due to higher incentive compensation accruals during the 2009 period compared to the 2008 period. In addition, retirement and stock related compensation during the second quarter of 2009 increased due to the absence of a $343,000 reduction in expense during the 2008 period related to the revaluation of the Rabbi Trust shares from the change in the Company's stock price. Professional fees also increased during the second quarter of 2009 due to increased legal and consulting fees related to a shareholder derivative demand made late in the first quarter of 2009.

The Company's efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2009 was 86.8% compared to 77.8% for the first quarter of 2009 and 72.2% for the second quarter of 2008. The Company's core efficiency ratios were 82.0%, 82.1%, and 65.8% for the same periods. The increases from the prior two periods are primarily the result of increased non-interest expense as discussed above.

Management has historically used an efficiency ratio that is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating expense control and operating efficiency. The efficiency ratio is typically defined as the ratio of non-interest expense to the sum of non-interest income and net interest income. Many financial institutions, in calculating the efficiency ratio, adjust non-interest income (as calculated under GAAP) to exclude certain component elements, such as gains or losses on sales of securities and assets. Management follows this practice to calculate our core efficiency ratio and utilizes this non-GAAP measure in its analysis of the Company's performance. The core efficiency ratio is different from the GAAP-based efficiency ratio. The GAAP-based measure is calculated using non-interest expense, net interest income and non-interest income as presented on the consolidated statements of income.

The Company's core efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense less the FDIC special assessment divided by the sum of net interest income, excluding the deferred premium amortization related to the early extinguishment of debt, and non-interest income, adjusted for gains or losses on the sale of securities and other assets. Management believes that, when presented along with the GAAP efficiency ratio, the core efficiency ratio enhances investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance. The measure is also believed to be useful in understanding the Company's performance trends and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management further believes the presentation of the core efficiency ratio provides useful supplemental information, a clearer understanding of the Company's financial performance, and better reflects the Company's core operating activities.

The risks associated with utilizing operating measures (such as the efficiency ratio) are that various persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included or excluded in these measures and that other companies might calculate these measures differently. Management of the Company compensates for these limitations by providing detailed reconciliations between GAAP information and its core efficiency ratio within the last table of this press release; however, these disclosures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP.

Asset Quality

The provision for losses on loans for the second quarter of 2009 increased to $713,000 from $624,000 for the first quarter of 2009 and decreased from $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2008. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $1.3 million compared to $710,000 for the first quarter of 2009 and $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2008. The allowance for losses on loans totaled $14.9 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $15.6 million at December 31, 2008. In the second quarter, the Company's non-performing loans decreased by $2.4 million as the migration of loans to other real estate owned more than offset increases in non-performing commercial construction and land development loans and HELOCs.

The ratio of allowance for losses on loans to total loans was 1.99% at June 30, 2009 compared to 2.07% at December 31, 2008. When management determines a non-performing collateral dependent loan has a collateral shortfall, management will immediately charge-off the collateral shortfall. As a result, the Company is not required to maintain an allowance for losses on loans on these loans as the loan balance has already been written down to its net realizable value (fair value less estimated costs to sell the collateral).

The Company maintains the allowance for losses on loans at a level that management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and represents management's estimate of inherent losses existing in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each balance sheet date and is based on its review of available and relevant information. Management believes that at June 30, 2009 the allowance for losses on loans was adequate based on its review of historical loss experience, levels of delinquencies, economic conditions and the review of relevant and available information for specific loans.

Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2009, the Company's total assets were $1.09 billion compared to $1.12 billion at December 31, 2008.

The Company's loans receivable were relatively stable at $750.9 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $750.0 million at December 31, 2008. Securities available-for-sale totaled $220.3 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $251.3 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in securities is primarily due to maturities and paydowns coupled with sales activity during the first quarter of 2009.

Deposits increased to $831.1 million at June 30, 2009 from $824.1 million at December 31, 2008 as a $15.6 million increase in non-municipal core deposit accounts more than offset a $5.4 million decline in municipal deposits and a $3.1 million decline in non-municipal certificates of deposit. Investments in the Company's branch network, technological infrastructure, human capital, and brand have enhanced its ability to translate existing and new customer relationships into deposit balances in the current environment. The decline in municipal deposits during the quarter was attributable primarily to seasonal factors. While the Company maintains strong relationships with its municipal customers, and municipal deposits continue to comprise an important funding source, management is lowering its reliance on such funds in anticipation that the recession's impact on municipalities and other government-related entities will result in lower municipal deposit levels. The Company's deposits consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

June 30, December 31, 2009 2008 ------------ ------------ (Dollars in thousands) Core deposits $ 424,765 $ 409,184 Certificates of deposit 353,085 356,227 ------------ ------------ Subtotal - non-municipal deposits 777,850 765,411 ------------ ------------ Municipal core deposits 40,641 39,221 Municipal certificates of deposit 12,613 19,465 ------------ ------------ Subtotal municipal deposits 53,254 58,686 ------------ ------------ Total deposits $ 831,104 $ 824,097 ============ ============

The Company's borrowed money decreased to $132.3 million at June 30, 2009 from $172.9 million at December 31, 2008 as the Company utilized proceeds from its available-for-sale securities portfolio to de-leverage its balance sheet during the first quarter of 2009. The Company's borrowed money consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

June 30, December 31, 2009 2008 ----------- ----------- (Dollars in thousands) Short-term variable-rate borrowed money and repurchase agreements $ 10,625 $ 28,312 Gross FHLB borrowed money 121,719 144,800 Unamortized deferred premium (42) (175) ----------- ----------- Total borrowed money $ 132,302 $ 172,937 =========== ===========

Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2009 increased $3.6 million to $115.5 million from $111.8 million at December 31, 2008 as a result of the following:

-- net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaling $2.1 million; -- an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.1 million; -- a decrease of $832,000 in the unallocated common stock held by the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan due to the release of the remaining shares during the first quarter of 2009; and -- a decrease of $515,000 in Treasury Stock - Rabbi Trust, due to a distribution in the second quarter of 2009.

The regulatory capital ratios of the Bank continue to exceed all regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2009, the Bank remained "well-capitalized" under the Office of Thrift Supervision's regulatory capital guidelines with total capital to risk-weighted assets equal to 13.21%. The Company's tangible common equity increased to $115.5 million, or 10.55% of tangible assets at June 30, 2009.
